ICC World Cup 2023: Australia (215/7) defeat South Africa (212 all out) by 3 wickets to reach the finals of ICC World Cup 2023

[7sins]

11 runs

 

[Devadwal]

Just fall short again

 

[jnaveen1980]

The body language of cummins is always superb in these situations

 

[7sins]

Give an over to Rabada. He will create last ray of hope inshallah.

What type of champion bowler or leader are you. If you're still hiding somewhere. He should ask his captain himself let me bowl

 

[FearlessRoar]

bowled on free hit

 

[Ab Fan]

South African faces are feeling the heartbreak

And heartbreaks

 

[jnaveen1980]

I remember in 2007 world cup Malinga nailing 4 wickets in one over and almost pulled off a miracle. They need something like that now.

 

[7sins]

The body language of cummins is always superb in these situations

Super cool from him

 

[globetrotter]

Congratulations Australia….

 

[Nikhil_cric]

South African faces are feeling the heartbreak

Yeah. They've been here way too many times.

 

[7sins]

10 more needed

 

[Devadwal]

Markram don't get wickets but rabada, Jansen can

 

[oatmeal]

Coetzee needs to get a hat trick

 

[sweep_shot]

10 to win.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Don't give it Coetzee. If he loses it,

 

[oatmeal]

Yeah. They've been here way too many times.

Always the bridesmaid , never the bride

 

[FearlessRoar]

South African faces are feeling the heartbreak

Today they should have played with Reeza instead of Bavuma

 

[Nikhil_cric]

8th over in a row? Does Bavuma want to kill his career?

 

[Ab Fan]

Yeah. They've been here way too many times.

I hope they don't cry at the end of the game like 2015 WC semis.

 

[Ab Fan]

8th over in a row? Does Bavuma want to kill his career?

He has been trying hard to do it since the start of his World Cup.

 

[globetrotter]

I hope they don't cry at the end of the game like 2015 WC semis.

On the contrary they will b relieved for not reaching final

 

[Devadwal]

Today they should have played with Reeza instead of Bavuma

Even a child know that Bavuma is rubbish but he is captain of South Africa .

 

[sweep_shot]

9 to win from 39 balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Known bottlers Rabada, QDK let them down again. Next gen bowler COetzee is giving it all

 

[7sins]

9 more common aussie

 

[jnaveen1980]

An unbelievable 100 by David Miller will go in vain. Poor man.

 

[Sunzi]

Dropped!

 

[kingusama92]

Markram continues?

No Rabada at all for Bavuma?

 

[Ab Fan]

Dropped catch!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bottler QDK what are you doing man

 

[Ahmed216]

So many dropped catches. Still remember ABD and others fielding like school kids in 2015 semi

 

[sweep_shot]

De Kock drops one.

 

[kingusama92]

The final choke of QDK's career.

 

[7sins]

Thank God for sa qdk is retiring that guy is pure choker and bottler

 

[Asif321]

Loser Bavuma

 

[FearlessRoar]

They had Chance to reach semi final today. They were just 40 runs Short. Which Reeza could have made

 

[kingusama92]

It's out of reach barring a miracle now.

 

[sweep_shot]

8 to win.

They can take it slowly. Lots of balls to go.

 

[jnaveen1980]

212 was more than enough on this pitch. Improper strategies made it possible for Australia

 

[OMB]

Curtains for SA now. All thanks to some insipid batting by QDK Bavuma and sloppy game awareness

 

[7sins]

8 more

 

[NeVerMind]

Cummins to DeKock "Mate, you just dropped the World Cup!"

 

[sweep_shot]

7 to win from 5 overs. 3 wickets in hand.

 

[JaDed]

I hope they don't cry at the end of the game like 2015 WC semis.

I was always told that Kambli was dropped coz he cried wonder if that was ever true

 

[Sunzi]

Jansen...

Bowling like a defeated man.

 

[Ab Fan]

Where is KG? Nonsense!

 

[oatmeal]

SA crumble under high pressure. Making critical mistakes

 

[FearlessRoar]

I hope Bavuma will also step down after world cup

 

[jnaveen1980]

RUn donator Jansen on. Game will be over now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Loser QDK. Announced his retirement and now choking like has for over a decade.

 

[JaDed]

Saffers have a block against Aussies that is very tough yo beat.
They should train with their RUGBY team.

 

[MIB]

Jansen and its over now

 

[oatmeal]

He'll give 5 wides

 

[GLORY OF '92]

QDK and Rabada are a disgrace in KOs

 

[Smbhayi]

No fires in Jansen bowling..

 

[Ahmed216]

It really is very difficult chasing here at Kolkata.
1996 semi final India was going well in chase of 240 odd but collapsed to 120/8 against spinners

 

[sweep_shot]

Jansen is back. Has been expensive today (3-0-27-0).

 

[kingusama92]

Rabada must be hurt. How is he the last in line in a do or die match?

 

[globetrotter]

Pathetic fielding costing SA something big

 

[7sins]

Where is KG? Nonsense!

Hiding somewhere saving himself for next t20 league

 

[jnaveen1980]

One could see that coming from a mile away

 

[Sunzi]

Jansen is a waste of space. Junk bowler.

Rabada must be hurt. How is he the last in line in a do or die match?

The quota players got their full 10 overs, Bavuma balancing it up

 

[kingusama92]

And that's game for sure now.

Bavuma is going to regret so many decisions from this game. Could write an entire book about them.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Man, Saffers were desperate to win this time. You can see it in their body language . They fought relentlessly.

 

[7sins]

Yes starc

 

[globetrotter]

It really is very difficult chasing here at Kolkata.
1996 semi final India was going well in chase of 240 odd but collapsed to 120/8 against spinners

Chasing 250

 

[7sins]

Man, Saffers were desperate to win this time. You can see it in their body language . They fought relentlessly.

Desperate ? You have to perform well to win a game when you drop 6 catches you don't deserve it im glad Australia going to final atleast we will have some kind of game on Sunday

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA would have never gotten better chance than this reaching a WC final. Turning track 20 quality overs of spin at disposal.

 

[Devadwal]

Man, Saffers were desperate to win this time. You can see it in their body language . They fought relentlessly.

Yes by dropping the catches?? They have dropped 4 to 5 catches today

 

[globetrotter]

Such a bad fielding display not expected from the team reached semi-final

 

[Ab Fan]

Today they should have played with Reeza instead of Bavuma

Throughout the World Cup not just today. Markram should be the captain.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hoping for history. Not to be. Let us wait for another 4 years.

 

[Ahmed216]

SA would have never gotten better chance than this reaching a WC final. Turning track 20 quality overs of spin at disposal.

They needed to open with a spinner at one end

 

[Devadwal]

Australia batting is also rubbish apart from head. They would have lost the game if South Africa take all the catches and Bavuma captaincy was proactive

 

[7sins]

Hoping for history. Not to be. Let us wait for another 4 years.

Keep on waiting they are chokers will remain the same

 

[mominsaigol]

Sa lost due to catch drops but well played for them

 

[sweep_shot]

2 to win.

 

[AAli98]

Well done Aus didn’t want to see these chokers get bowled out for 40 in a 1 sided final

 

[7sins]

Starc and Cummins are legends they have played this type or innings so many times

 

[7sins]

Well done Aus didn’t want to see these chokers get bowled out for 40 in a 1 sided final

Same here
